  • False

Questão 9

Questão
What are mechanical waves described as?
Responda
  • propagation of energy through a medium by cyclic pressure variations
  • distinguished by energy, frequency and wavelength
  • Man-made forces changing the frequency of the wave
  • similar to ocean waves

Responda
  • Air
  • Water
  • Soft tissue
  • All of the above

Responda
  • The difference between maximum value and equilibrium value
  • Length of one cycle
  • The number of cycles that occur per second
  • The speed of the soundwave as it passes through the tissue

Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 13

Questão
True or False? With more compressable materials (eg air) the sound transmits at a lower velocity
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 14

Questão
What part of the beam affects the strength of the echo?
Responda
  • intensity
  • transducer
  • shadowing
  • placement

  • Rarefraction
  • Attenuation
  • Beam angling
  • Focusing

Questão 16

Responda
  • Blood
  • Lung
  • Soft Tissue
  • Brain

Questão 18

Questão
Absorption
Responda
  • Is a result of internal friction forces
  • Is when ultrasound energy is converted into heat
  • Is the change of direction the beam takes when passing through different structures
  • Directly removes energy from the beam

Questão 19

Questão
True or false? Beam divergence cannot occur after refraction of a curved surface
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 20

Questão
What is Rayleigh scattering?
Responda
  • When the interface the beam hits is
  • When the interface the beam hits is >1 wavelength, scattering occurs equally in two directions
  • When the interface the beam hits is >1 wavelength, scattering occurs equally in all directions

Questão 21

Questão
Why is scatter a disadvantage?
Responda
  • only a small portion of the beam returns to the transducer
  • It creates radiation dose to the patient
  • scattered waves interact with each other to form back scatter patterns
  • Mentally affects the operator

Questão 22

Questão
Which kind of reflection occurs when a soundwave strikes a large smooth surface?
Responda
  • non-specular
  • diffuse
  • specular
  • acoustic

Questão 23

Questão
